im not sure whether i should make the most of this opportunity and become totally awara cus mum wont be noticing me or should i try to seek attention
i have a relo coming down whose like an exact copy of my mum, more like the ideal daughter (u know med student, cooks, talks materials/jewelerry, gossips and even eats mirchein)
unfortunately i didnt take up any of these traits.. not even ONE 
what should i do? like go totally wild or jump around saying “me me me”
i wish i was more like her sigh or had a few of her characteristics.. its hard being a black sheep.. hehe
With that relative coming down, you’ve clearly become redundant. there’s no more need for you with Miss Perfect around.. Let’s face it, you may as well leave home now 
i know.. i was thinking of packing my bags and doing some touristy stuff around the world..
but honestly... how do u deal with someone who IS the perfect someone.. hmmm
Everyone has a different perception of what being 'perfect' is.
i will try to act like miss perfect too 
… so what if i am doing bs in boring computer science and they are in med or law school… so what if i am fatttttttt ( 
and she is like slim like aishwariyaa rayee… cuz thats how i am… common yar.. dont be sad… let her come.. if i would be you… i would try to make changes in my life too (if i think i should) and hope to become miss perfect too .. i think being a girl you should knwo atleast a lil bit about cooking… trust mee thats a plus point…
Re: the ideal son/daughter
I perfectly fit your criteria of perfect or ideal daughter. but if you ask my mom, I m no where in the list. as brit chik said Everyone has a different perception of what being ‘perfect’ is. so dont worry sadzz, u could be perfect in my mum’s list … 
Sadzz first things first..what is the reason behind your splitting each topic into 2 or more posts???
Femme, I don't think she can write more than that in each post or else it deletes everything. She's been complaining about it for a while.
Anyway, Sadzzz babes, I'm sure your mother DOES realise what fabulous qualities you do have. Are you sure it's not you who is noticing these differences and not your parents?
Me and my sister are complete opposites. She's a neat freak, whereas I could care less. She's more domestic, whereas I'm more spoiled and pampered. We have completely different personalities and qualities and my folks do note that. They never pit us against each other though. I admit that I feel a bit uneasy when my cousin comes over ... she's very ideal in everyway ... studying business, speaks fluent and flawless Urdu, knows how to cook, very domestic and is 3 years younger than me. I notice it though ... not my parents.
Anyway, my point is that each person is unique and special in their own way, and I'm sure your mama and daddy appreciate and realise what a fabulous daughter you are. If not, let me talk to them!

"true perfection is imperfect, I know it sounds crazy but it's true"
In the immortal words of Oasis themselves.
To be honest, if she is as perfect as you claim she is, thenshe sounds boring and uninteresting. Noone is ever all that, and if you/they claim so, them someone is wearing rose tinted glasses a little too close.
Celebrate your shortcomings. They make you human.
Hiccup, that is an excellent idea under most circumstances. But killing a guest is not very hostesslike.
I’m into neither over rated cliches nor coherant typing. .
i've got lot of those "perfect" kinds in my family. but my mom never compare me to them. she knows i am different and i know i can never be perfect. so i dont bother myself worrying about it. u r who u are and u cant change that. so enjoy ur life :-)
Sadzz you are the daughter and she is just some niece coming over. Our moms know we are not perfect and they might complain about it to us but if your mom is anything like my mom, she will talk endlessly about how great you are in front of everyone and embarrass the heck out of you 
first things first... i opened this thread just to mock ideal sons and daughters :) i couldnt careless hehe..
Mehnaz, yeah its totally me.. i feel as though ive failed as a child in fulfilling my mums one dream, for me to become a doc hahaha
PP007, I can cook.. just not at the same level as my relo
Rukhsar, my mum and i are both against overglamourising kids infront of others.. U get jinxed!! :)
FF, yeah.. i cant type more than 5-6 lines in a post. I have some wacko virus on my computer
nobody's perfect.
ghar kee murghee daal baraabar hee hotee hai u must be praised by her mom that is a very high chance of this :)
^ true that i am
Xara, true nobody is perfect.. i think someone up there said “perfect” is a relative term..
maybe in my aankhein i see her as a perfect daughter, and my mum may not even realise that.. maybe its an inbuilt thing called insecurity.. hehe
